Europe's Medical Revolutions. Measuring Medical Demand in Early Modern Europe. (360G-Wellcome-100696_Z_12_Z)

This workshop explores the development of markets for medicine in early modern Europe, focusing on one of the most fundamental questions in the history of medicine: when and why did most people start to look beyond their family and neighbours for medical care? It will bring together researchers using a range of different sources to analyse developments in the consumption of medical services in early modern France, the Netherlands and Venice, and in eighteenth-century England. Papers will present new evidence of continuity or change in demand for healthcare and in the types of provision the sick employed in different periods, with a focus on estimating changes in the level and characteristics of medical consumption over the long-run in different parts of Europe. Each paper will also discuss the potential of the sources they used to offer a guide to long-term changes in medical consumption. The workshop will centre on evaluating our ability to measure the levels and characteristics of a key aspect of health care in order to help historians of medicine understand the long-term development of the provision and consumption of health care across Europe.
